The most frightening side effect of the disaster: Japanese officials are warning of a “nuclear disaster,” according to JibTV, which is providing live coverage from Japan and said, if the reactors at TEPCO’s Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant are unable to cool, “it could lead to a nuclear disaster.”

If that happens, the recommendation is to stay indoors and limit your intake and food. This is the first time anything like this has happened, they say. There are still no radio active leaks.

Reports are out that over 100 people have been found dead after the quake and tsunami, but it could get much worse.

When a 8.8-magnitude earthquake struck the Banda Aceh area of Indonesia on Dec. 26, 2004, it caused a massive tsunami that killed about 250,000 people in 14 countries and washed away entire communities, according to CNN.

Terrifying reports about the 20-foot tsunami, which is sweeping away cars, boats, trucks, farms and buildings, comes after an aftershock from a massive earthquake that measured 8.8 on the Richter scale. A picture of where the first quake hit is on the right.

A Reuters reporter in Japan described the quake as, “the worst I have felt since I came to Japan more than 20 years ago.””The building shook for what seemed like a long time and many people in the newsroom grabbed their helmets and some got under their desks.”

After the 8.8 quake, a number of strong aftershocks followed, one measuring 7.4 on the Richter scale.

Apparently long lines are forming outside convenience stores and there are reports of food shortages. Many people are unable to make phone calls because the lines are so crowded.

A nuclear power plant is facing an “emergency situation,” but there are no reports of any nuclear or radioactive leaks yet. However, a cooling agent needed to cool the reactor isn’t working — there isn’t enough electricity to cool the reactor. If the emergency cooler fails to operate, it could lead to a nuclear disaster. If that happens, stay indoors and limit your intake and food. This is the first time anything like this has happened, says JibTV, which is providing live coverage from Japan. There are still no radio active leaks.
